The developers of the hit co-op shooter Helldivers 2 have officially launched their holiday event, the "Festival of Retribution." Running from December 18 to December 31, the event is now live for players on PS5 and PC.
Arrowhead Game Studios remains true to the game’s satirical tone. Instead of traditional holiday cheer, players are invited to celebrate by "decorating the halls with limbs, gears, and tentacles of enemies." The highlight of the festival is the addition of free, temporary stratagems. These special support abilities can be called in during missions at no cost, allowing Helldivers to unleash extra firepower against the enemies of Super Earth.
The event is designed to inject fresh content and fun into the game for the holiday season. It offers a perfect excuse for squads to reunite and end the year with explosive action.
Conclusion from HYPERPC:
"Helldivers 2 is a visually demanding game, especially when multiple stratagems go off simultaneously. To experience every explosion and particle effect in glorious 4K without frame drops, you need serious hardware. HYPERPC premium gaming rigs are built to handle the chaos of the 'Festival of Retribution,' ensuring your gameplay remains smooth while you spread managed democracy."
